You don't install dvds, you install software packages. Just install the
packages you need, the installer will fetch them from where they are
available (usually via the internet, but dvds are fine as well. The
installer will prompt you for the right dvd once they have been added
with 'apt-cdrom add'.).

Note that it is not possible nor desirable to install all programs
available for debian. (Some packages are conflicting. For example it
makes no sense to have more than one mail program listening for incoming
mails. It is possible to have several mail agents, though.)
